It's early September. The autumn harvest in the territory has basically ended, and the people have once again devoted themselves to clearing the fields. Because the agricultural tax has been much more relaxed than that of Haoqiang, who is generally in the vicinity, the farmers in the territory have been given preferential treatment, but the financial affairs of the territory are not optimistic, so the agricultural tax received this year is only more than 1,000 stones.

As soon as these autumn grains were harvested, they were immediately consumed in the construction of the territory. Watching the bucket of grain distributed to the hands of the people, the head of the Interior Togo Heiji can be described as a joy and an excellent one, happy that these grains have been exchanged for the stability of the people and the people's hearts, and the construction of the territory has also been promoted, and the worry is that the grain reserves in the warehouse are decreasing. Of course, with the arrival of the first batch of 2,000 stone autumn grain purchased from Kamiya's family and 20 ploughing cows, Togo's Heiji's worries were finally alleviated, and Masara finally didn't have to face Togo Heiji's bitter gourd face every day.

During this period, Wang Hai came to visit again, and the main purpose was to count and exchange materials according to the amount determined by the two sides last time. After getting the Luo family's supplies in hand, he set out on the return journey again. The next meeting will not be until November. Before leaving, Masarashi again brought a large amount of dried sweet potatoes (boiled and sliced sweet potatoes that were dried in the sun) and cooked corn. The goal was for him to introduce the food to the rest of the ship. Regarding the idea that sweet potatoes received the Ming Kingdom, Zhengliang did not have much ambition. After all, his strength is too weak, and he has no chance to deal with the officials of the Ming Kingdom. Masara also did not have the idea of a so-called savior, and tried in vain to become a savior by promoting these foods to the Ming Kingdom with all his might, which was impossible. Zhengliang's only purpose is to bring these things to the Ming Kingdom through these folk merchants, and then leave them to the destined people. As long as these crops can keep a person from starving to death, it is enough.

With the spread of the law of the realm, the newly occupied territory in the west has also been completely settled, and these peasants will not care who the lord is, as long as you can bring them a stable and clothed life, they will support whom. The pirates along the coast and on the Hibiki Peninsula have also been quiet lately. In this regard, Zhengliang is also content with the status quo. There were so many pirates there that they didn't want to clash with them too soon until the Luo family had fully established roots.

After the autumn harvest is over, it is estimated that the Hakata family will soon launch a strategy against the Hirado Matsuura clan. For the upcoming convening of Bota, Masashi is ready to participate. The main purpose is twofold, one is to further enhance the reputation of the Luo family, and the other is to train the strength of the Luo family by participating in this campaign. In this era, fame and strength are very important, with fame, it is easier for you to have great righteousness (such as obtaining official positions), and it is easier for ronin to take refuge in you, and the territory under your jurisdiction will be more stable. As for the training, the main thing is that the scale of this battle is relatively large, at least it is a battle with more than 2,000 people participating, which is an extremely valuable experience journey for the Luo family soldiers who lack the opportunity to participate in large-scale battles. Of course, there are opportunities and risks, and in this era of deceit, you can die if you are not careful, so you must be well prepared.

To this end, Masahiro began to make relevant preparations in August.

First of all, the issue of military rations, although after responding to the call of Porka, the military rations along the way of the raid were taken care of by Porka, but in order to avoid accidents, Masashi was still prepared to carry some dry rations by himself. Masaro tried to make his own miso, but although he had mastered the knowledge of later generations, it was not the same thing at all, and in the end, the loss of making miso ended in failure. Since he couldn't make miso, he had to settle for the next best thing, so Masaro thought of pickles. Compared to miso, pickles are much easier to make, as long as there are enough wild vegetables and coarse salt, you can make as much as you want. After the pickles are pickled, they are taken out to dry the city pickles. Pickles full of moisture are too difficult to carry, and it is much easier to dry them and carry them again. In addition to pickles, Masara also had a large number of pickled jerky made, and the various animals obtained from hunting were also processed, cut into pieces, first salted, and then dried in the jerky. As soon as Zhengliang's order came out, all kinds of wild animals in the Luo family's territory suffered. Under the rich reward, a large number of people poured into the mountains and forests to hunt all kinds of wild beasts, ranging from wild boars to small hares. After a period of time, the number of beasts in the Luo family's territory decreased significantly. Of course, this is a good thing for the territory, as it solves the problem of meat and greatly reduces the danger of clearing fields in the wild, after all, it violates the territory of animals (such as wild boars), which sometimes attack people. …,

By early September, the Luo family's warehouse was stocked with enough special rations for the march. These special rations consist mainly of sun-dried sweet potatoes, pickled and sun-dried pickles, and dried meat. In the future, on the march, you only need to put these special dry foods into the miscellaneous grains and cook them into a pot of rice. Of course, in order to quickly recover his strength, Masahiro advocated pickles and salted jerky as the staple food. As for dried sweet potatoes, they are mainly used to temporarily replenish physical strength, and these dried sweet potatoes can be eaten immediately without cooking.

While solving the problem of marching military rations, Masahiro also personally grasped the daily training of the troops. There are many mountainous areas in the Wa Kingdom, so it is mainly to adapt to mountain warfare. For this reason, in addition to the battle formation training, Masara added the training of mountain warfare based on the experience of later generations. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has ended, giving Masato enough time to train his troops.

On this day, Masahiro was inspecting the training of the troops, and Yinuo hurriedly came to report. Yinuo was re-recruited by Masayo a few days ago. Previously, due to the unauthorized departure of his post, the Luo family was in danger, and Masashi sent him to the "Hero's Tomb" in Nogao Mountain in a fit of rage, while being responsible for sweeping the tomb and recuperating from his injuries and introspection. It is said that this guy not only changed his mind and reflected on it every day, but also received the guidance of Master Xuanzhi, who happened to come to visit his disciple Xuanru, and finally woke up. Since then, Yinuo's whole person has become much more calm and sophisticated.

"Your Highness, the envoy of the Sashi family is visiting," Yinuo bowed and reported.

"Oh?" Masashi felt very sudden, what was the envoy of the Sashi family doing at this time? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Huzi family, it is impossible. The Huzi family is the Haoqiang that the Luo family detective focuses on, as long as there is any wind and grass, Zhengliang will definitely not know the way. Since there is no way to know the other party's intentions, let's meet each other, after all, the Zuo Zhi family is still an ally of the Luo family. Thinking of this, Masara asked Yinuo to agree to the other party's request to meet.

The two sides met in a military tent at a checkpoint on the side of the Roche family that bordered the two territories. There are two people from the Sashi family this time, one is the important minister of the Sashi family, Nobusuke, who made a great effort for the alliance between the two families last time, and the other is a middle-aged man who looks in his thirties and has a little dark skin.

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness Masayo, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing" As soon as he entered the military tent, Shinsuke apologized to Masayo, who was sitting on the throne.

"Hehehe, it's an honor for Shinsuke-sama to be here. By the way, who is this? Masarashi returned the salute while looking at the middle-aged man who walked in at the same time as Shinsuke.

"In the Shimosashi family, the general of the navy Sashi, when the middle-aged man saw Masashi looking at him, he immediately saluted and said.

"Oh? It turned out to be a timed adult who was known as the 'sea shark', and it was rude under the "Masato "Masato was stunned, it turned out that the one in front of him was the nephew who inherited the position of the family governor after the head of the Sazhi family cut the stomach.,The nephew who inherited the position of the family governor was controlled into a puppet.,It's like the real head of the Sazhi family.。 Because of his bravery in naval battles, he once killed a fierce shark for a day, and was called "sea shark" by others, which means that this person is more ferocious than a shark.

After a polite exchange between the two sides, they sat down again according to the priority and priority.

"His Royal Highness Masashi, it seems that the Luo family has been purchasing materials recently, but I really didn't expect His Highness to take care of the territory at a young age, which really makes the old man ashamed" After Shinsuke sat down, he first praised Masato.

"Nobusuke-sama has won the award, thanks to the help of the Sashi family, such a large amount of material delivery, it is easy to be remembered by others, if it weren't for the help of the Sashi family, it would be difficult for these materials to reach the family's territory safely", Masara responded with a smile. …,

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness Zhengliang doesn't need to be polite, it is necessary for you and me to form an alliance and support each other. Besides, His Royal Highness has also brought a lot of toll income to his family," Shinsuke Ha Lu Ha Da said with a smile, "However, Your Highness, these materials are mainly some weapons and food, so I don't know if something happened to Lu Dao?" If there is a place where the assistance of the family is needed, His Royal Highness will not speak directly, and the family will definitely help. ”

"Hey" Masaro sighed and responded, "Shinsuke should also know that the Ishida family and the Yomiko family have been putting pressure on the family recently, and the family has to prepare for the worst." ”

"Hmph" As soon as he heard Masahiro mention the Huzi family, Shinsuke snorted angrily, "The wolf ambition of the Huzi family will one day be the great enemy of you and me." If the Huzi family is not good for you in the future, this family will definitely come to help. ”

"It's... This is really good," Masarashi said gratefully, "In the future, the Sashi family will be attacked by the Yomiko family, and the Luo family will definitely come to help." ”

"Okay, then you and I will make up our minds" Seeing Masayo's statement, Shinsuke was also very happy, "Also, I wonder if His Royal Highness Masara Lu Dao intends to respond to Hakata's call for a strategy against the Hirado Matsuura family?" ”

Is the drama finally here? Zhengliang smiled slightly, and then said affirmatively: "Yes, the last time I met with Lord Hidaka Soyoshi, my family had already made it clear that they would definitely participate in this strategy. ”

"Oh. I see," Shinsuke nodded in response.

"If you need help from your family in something, don't worry about it," Masarashi said with a slight smile.

"Since His Royal Highness Masara is so refreshing, the family can't help but say it directly" The reply is not Shinsuke, but Sashi, who has not spoken, "The family is also ready to respond to the call of the Bojia family this time, and the general who led the troops of the family this time is under it." I hope that in the next strategy against the Bojia family, the two families can support each other, and it is necessary to work together to weaken the strength of the Huzi family, I don't know what His Royal Highness Lu Dao wants? ”

"Oh?" Zhengliang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to have such an idea, and it is not bad to support each other, although it is definitely necessary to be a little vigilant in case the other party sells himself, but the battlefield is changeable, and the support of an ally with a friendly ally is also very good, "Okay, this is also in line with the original intention of the family." When the time comes, on the battlefield, you have to ask the regular adults to take care of it. ”

In this way, the two families hit it off and jointly formulated a strategy for the Yomiko family. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )……，
